Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms, minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 8 ounces provolone cheese, chopped
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
- Cook the beef until a deep brown crust forms before breaking it apart, then continue cooking until fully browned.
- Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Add butter, diced onion, diced green bell pepper, and minced mushrooms to the skillet.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and lightly caramelize.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet.
- Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- In a small bowl whisk cornstarch with beef broth until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir well.
- Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped provolone cheese until melted and creamy.
- Toast the brioche buns until lightly golden.
- Spoon the hot beef mixture onto the buns and serve immediately.
Notes
- Allow the beef to brown before breaking it apart to develop deeper flavor.
- Use a mix of provolone and white cheddar for an extra cheesy filling.
- Ground turkey can replace ground beef for a lighter version.
- Add red pepper flakes or jalapeño for a spicy twist.
- Toast the buns to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- If the sauce becomes too thick when reheating, add a splash of beef broth.
